SOCNA can assign a level without a Judge ever being involved. For judicial review: (1) appeal the decision to SOCNA, they review (and certainly will NOT decide they were wrong) and you remain a level 4. (2) now you can appeal to an ELECTED circuit court judge.
Getting a Level 4 (the max; sexually violent predator; most likely to re-offend) reduced to a 3 is a very, very difficult process with low probability of success. Consult an Arkansas attorney with experience in sex offender...

more info is needed
when you do not appear a bench warrant is issued. They do not notify you of that BW.
you should have responded when the police were there and just made the case a lot more complicated.
no idea what all the warrants are for but certainly not good for you;

If by fictitious, you mean that he is lying to you about whether there is a lawsuit, that is pretty easy to check these days. Most courts have their dockets on line indexed by party names.
If you mean that an existing suit is a fraud, I’m sure the Commonwealth Attorney in the county would chat with you.
You may want to take a lawyer to this meeting or, at least, talk to one first. If it is a qui tam case, you might get a reward, but only if you do it right. If you were used...

Andy Wayne Williamson's answer
There is not an action that you can do to remove points. The points basically drop off automatically after a certain period of time. The issue is not the points, but how many points you accumulate over a certain period of time.
12 points within 12 months―30 days.
18 points within 18 months―3 months.
24 points within 36 months―1 year.
Hope this helps.

P. Justin Thrailkill's answer
You need to speak with an attorney ASAP. If this is a permanency hearing, you should've already been afforded the opportunity to get a court appointed attorney. If you have not, ask for one tomorrow. They will have to determine if you qualify for a court appointed attorney, so they may have to continue the hearing IF you haven't already applied and been denied, or if you haven't refused at an earlier hearing.

According to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, Registration is not needed to operate your golf cart on a public road. State law allows for use of golf carts with a slow-moving vehicle emblem in the following situations: in master planned communities with a uniform set of restrictive covenants in place, on public or private beaches, during the daytime and no more than two miles from where the owner usually parks the golf cart and for transportation to or from a golf course, or to cross...
